Attack on the Colossal Squid!!!

Forget those giant squids, they're so Twentieth Century. Now we have COLOSSAL Squids. Some Kiwi fishermen just caught one. BBC reports:

New Zealand fishermen have caught what is expected to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid.

Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said the squid, weighing an estimated 450kg (990lb),took two hours to land in Antarctic waters.

One expert said calamari rings made from it would be like tractor tyres.
